# Refusal Decision Notice

## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

### Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Mr B Bodell<br>111 Fairways Drive<br>Mount Murray<br>Braddan<br>IM4 2JL

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

Name:
Proposal:
at:

Karen Hargreaves
Approval in principle to erect a dwelling within grounds of 141 Royal Avenue
Onchan
Isle Of Man
IM3 1LD
which was considered on 22nd July 2008, for the reasons set out below.
Date of Issue: 30th July 2008
Murray House
Mount Havelock
Douglas

Secretary to the Planning Committee

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The erection of an additional dwelling within the application site is unacceptable by reason that:
(a) the amenity of the existing dwelling and that of the proposed dwelling would be detrimentally harmed by the siting of each other;
(b) the proposal would result in the loss of trees that make a positive contribution to the amenity of the application site and surrounding area;
(c) the provision of a minimum of two on-site car parking spaces, where at least one of which is retained within the curtilage and behind the front of the dwelling, would be problematic.
As such the proposed development fails to accord with, or is contrary to, Policy O/RES/P/19 and Policy O/NC/P/5 of Planning Circular 1/2000 and General Policy 2, Environment Policy 42, Housing Policy 6 and appendix 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
